AT The FUNERAL OF A MINOR POET.

Zone Of the Bearers Soliloquizes.I
| Well, yes, we liked his verses, thought them
good,
Quite good. indeed; perhaps too much tech
nique.
Too much laborious finish, and all that.
He took such pains! But then he scorned to
write
Long odes when certain tiresome persons
died,
| And gave no SONG to cattle shows and fairs.
And SO was not q poet OF the day
A twilight poet, cropping ILL the dusk,
Belated, with the great ones gone ahead.
This we may say, and say it hand on heart
Since he is dead-he had q certain touch,
A touch that's lacking. We've no verse to-
No verse to speak of-chiefy triolets,
And smooth, fantastic copies of Old French.
The mighty Zolaistie movement now
Engrosses us; we paint things as they are
GOc as we think they are unfiinehingIy.
Eve with her foliage WAS over dressed:
The rose has scent and thorn, We take the
thorn:
The truest art is to leave nothing out
Likely to prove offensive. Will it lasts?
1t is 30 hard to know what thing will last.
There's Stockings lyric, fresh as yesterday,
And there's Loyelace's love note to Alth@a-
Too much technique, too much high finish,
They have outlassed thrones and dynasties.
These poets are SO odd! eu bury one
With all his music in six feet of earth,
And black oblivion shrouds him: presently,
After perhaps q hundred years or so,
The world is suddenly conscious of a flower
Sprung from the mould of q forgotten grave.
TITS said the seeds wrapt up among the balms
And hieroglyphics of Egyptian kings
Hold strange Vitality, and, planted, grow
After the lapse of thrice a thousand years.
Some day, who knows7 some ~unregarded
note
Of our poor friend there, some sweet minor
chord
That failed to lure our more accustomed ear,
May witch the fancy of an unborn age.
Who knows, since seeds have such tenacity?
Meanwhile. he's dead, with seantiest laurel
leaf
And little of our nineteenth century gold.
Well, well. poor fellow! let US bury him.
